SRINAGAR, Indian-controlled Kashmir, Feb. 16 (Xinhua) -- A skier from Russia was killed and four of his companions rescued Friday after an avalanche hit them while skiing in Indian-controlled Kashmir, police said.

The avalanche hit the skiers at ski resort of Gulmarg, about 52 km northwest of Srinagar city, the summer capital of Indian-controlled Kashmir.

"An avalanche today triggered in Gulmarg hitting a group of foreign skiers," a police spokesman said. "One Russian skier was killed, while four others in the group were rescued safely."
